Toyota Avensis

The Kia Cee’d, for its first full year of sales, climbs to #4 in 2008 (3.7%) but drops to #8 in 2009 (-59%). The Skoda Octavia (#2 in 2008, #3 in 2009) and Toyota Corolla (#3 in 2008, #4 in 2009), are both passed by the renewed Toyota Avensis in 2009 delivering 4,994 sales and 5.5% share for an excellent 2nd place.
